Correcting Costly Errors

“ECCO has gone the extra mile and saved our roll-out from being a major disaster. When we were behind in getting the training for our satellite programs completed, they flew in extra teammates and stayed with us to the end to make sure the rollout was a success. And what a success it was! Just one of our broadcasts realized approximately $4 million annual savings in the order entry process with the sales force. We ended up receiving the International Quality Award for our satellite training effort!” Square D/Groupe Schneider, Mgr., Satellite Training Network
